Its an extremely good news for the Indians. Slumdog Millionaire has won 8 Oscar awards this time.
Though its a British film but it has an Indian connection to it. The technicians , musicians etc etc are Indians. Three Indians headed by AR Rahman have won Oscars. This makes the occasion even special for the Indians.

AR Rahman finally got the award and recognition that he deserves the most. Probably the western world listened to his music for the first time other wise he would have and should have got Oscars much before. He has given even better music in most of his Indian films like Rang de basanti , Roja etc etc. Now he is the only Indian to win two Oscars.

Gulzar also got one award along with AR Rahman for the best origninal score(for the song JAI HO) . Though he gives all the credit to Rahman , he too desrves this award. He has been lyrist in numerous Hindi songs.

And at last but not the least .. Resul Pookutty won an Oscar for best sound mixing. Another Inidan making us proud ....As he rightly said -"History has been handed over to him".

Though there was some controversy on the film highlighting the slums of India , but it has done more good things for the Indians than Bad things. The Indian technicians , musicians etc will get more recognition in the west now.
